Day 07- Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.

My answers are in red

Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, is a
water sign, which signifies your highly emotional nature. Being under
the sway of the element of water also makes you highly caring, generous
and intuitive. You are highly evolved, even spiritual — the water signs
are karmically developed and refined in spirit.‎
Yes I do have a highly emotional nature
Water is malleable and adaptable. You are very much like that. You
adapt when you have to, but you much prefer to make changes on your own
terms.

Agree
Like water, you are soothing and nourishing too. Life-supporting
energies are at the heart of your character. You will act as a support
for many people — in your own family and beyond.

You are for the most part a person of feeling and sensation. Often you
will ignore your own judgment and rationality, and someone’s else’s
reasonable advice, in favor of how you feel. You don’t care if you’re
wrong, either! If your intuition tells you to do something, like
reaching out to give someone a helping hand, you’ll just do it.

I only agree with this partially as I have been through a lot in life and having my trust betrayed too many times in life, I do not easily trust people anymore so it depends on the situation and my intuition. I used to be amenable to other people's advice but not that much nowadays.

Others turn to you when they need a shoulder to cry on — you’ll do well
in any of the caring professions. This approach is highlighted by your
key life phrase, ‘I nurture’. You find it difficult to turn away anyone
in need. Anyone who knows you will agree that you are one of the best
people to connect with if they need advice. Friends will turn to you if
they are in trouble, knowing that your sensitive and compassionate touch
will lighten their load.

I suppose so.

You are extremely receptive to your environment and the people around
you, and will often ‘pick up’ people’s energies, moods and thoughts.
This ability serves you well; your intuition about people is quite often
correct. Your knack of knowing people’s issues before they even open
their mouths attracts them to you. The difficulty with this, though, is
that you can tend to absorb their emotions — negative as well as
positive.

This is true. Sadly I do absorb a lot of negative emotions and am often very stressed.

Back on the plus side, you love to mix with all sorts of people. Social
activities are an essential ingredient in your development. You are a
great success socially, because you can convey your wisdom to others so
well — Cancerians have very expressive faces.

I do love to mix with all sorts of people but I am also an introvert because of trust issues and do still prefer my own company more often then not, though if you put me in a group, I can be just a socialable after a little while.

Creative enterprises are a great way to make the most of your moods and
your imagination. Music and writing are perfect vehicles for you. You
can express the inner part of your being as entertaining literary, art
or music pieces.
Cooking is also a great outlet for you. Even if you cook as a hobby
rather than as a job, you will find that it balances your state of mind
over time.

You are a consummate homemaker. Even men born under this sign express
the ‘feminine’ aspect of their character in their love of the kitchen,
and activities that make them feel secure in their domestic space.

Creative? I guess I can be. I love writing, and also photography and drawings. Cooking? I am ok at it though it depends on my mood. When I cook and no one eats it then I can be depressed and not like to cook

You love to collect or keep mementos — such as scrapbooks and other
bits and pieces — that bring back memories of good times and people you
care about. You have a great memory, not just for facts, but also any
good turn or kindness you’ve received.

Yes and yes... I am a junk collector. I love my mementos and yes. I remember good turns and kindness... definitely important to me

You can always talk about any subject with anyone. That retentive
memory is a help here, as is your impartial, even-handed approach to
people generally. Dealing with people comes naturally to you: add this
to your shrewdness and intuition, and you are likely to be a good
businessperson. You can also use these skills in managing your
day-to-day life.

I suppose I can do that. Though I do not, or rather, no longer have such a retentive memory. Getting older I guess... hehehe

If you are a Cancer born between 22nd June and 3rd
July you are under the double influence of Moon. You are emotional,
loving and destined in marriage and love life. However, try to curb your
changeable emotions. Don't let sentimentality rule you.

I am surely emotional but loving to my family. And yes, I really do have to work on my changeable emotions. SO I guess my zodiac does actually quite reflect the person I am in many ways.
